Kerri’s Bio

I have recently worked in a preschool classroom as lead teacher/assistant for six years. I devote my time and experience in our preschool aged children's ministry at our church. I'm CPR and First aid certified. I have experience with special needs having an autistic, visually impaired son. I maintain a current CDA (Child Development Associate) and a membership with NAEYCE. I approach situations with love, a great sense of humor, and the ability to be flexable. My philosophy consists of creating an age appropriate, open-ended, child directed, fun loving enviroment which can allow the individual child to gain experience, nurturing, and confidence to take into their next educational journey!
